MICT vs DSG T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2024
MI Cape Town take on Durban Super Giants in Match 16 of the 2024 SA20 on Tuesday evening at Newlands Cricket Ground. With two wins from five matches, MI Cape Town have nine points, four points behind the Super Giants in second place. Read on as we preview this day-night match. The game gets underway in Cape Town at 17:30 local time.
MI Cape Town have been an inconsistent side so far in this campaign and will be looking to bounce back from their 59 run defeat against Paarl Royals in this game. There were no top order runs in the last clash and that is an area which must improve if they are to win on Tuesday.
After getting off to a flying start in the tournament, Durban’s Super Giants come to Newlands after suffering defeats against Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape. However, they have an immense batting line-up and if they fire then they should get back to winning ways in this clash.

MICT Team News
Five games into the tournament, MI Cape Town look to have settled on an XI which the team management have confidence in. No injuries were reported after the defeat against Paarl Royals and it would be no surprise to see the same side selected for this match.

- Ryan Rickleton - The left-handed opener comes into this game after hitting 342 runs at a very impressive strike-rate of 179.05 in this tournament.
- Rassie van der Dussen - The 34 year old tall right-hander will be keen to bounce back from a two-ball duck in Match 14 but overall his batting has been very strong in the tournament.
- Thomas Kaber - The left-arm wrist spinner has a strike-rate of 18.3 across his T20 career but he will be looking forward to returning to Newlands for this game.
- Nuwan Thushara - The right-arm medium fast bowler picked up the big wickets of Jos Buttler and Fabian Allen in successive balls against Paarl Royals.

Durban Super Giants Team News & Playing 11
DSG Team News
After the Afghanistan Cricket Board backtracked on their initial call to stop their players competing in the SA20, Naveen-ul-Haq and Noor Ahmad came into Durban’s Super Giants XI for their last game and we expect them both to retain their spots in the team for this clash.
DSG Key Players
- Heinrich Klaasen - The 32 year old right-handed middle order batter has hit over 3700 T20 runs with a strike-rate of 147.13 and is in fine form ahead of this match.
- Matthew Breetzke - The opener hit six boundaries in the defeat against Sunrisers Eastern Cape and his quick-scoring at the top of the order has been impressive in this campaign.
- Reece Topley - The tall left-arm pace bowler dismissed his international team-mate, the in-form Dawid Malan, in the last game and he is a constant threat in T20 cricket.
- Marcus Stoinis - The Australian all-rounder picked up the wickets of Aiden Markram and Patrtick Kruger in the last match. He always has the talent to turn a game with both bat and ball.

The bookies can not separate the two sides ahead of this game. Both MI Cape Town and Durban’s Super Giants are priced at 1.83 ahead of this match on Tuesday.
Who will win MI Cape Town vs Paarl Royals T20 Match?
Neither team has been able to string together back to back wins over recent games with Durban’s Super Giants on a losing run. However, their batting line-up has experience and we think they will come out on top in this game.
🏆 MI Cape Town vs Durban Super Giants Prediction
In spite of losing successive games, Durban’s Super Giants are still well placed in second spot and a win in this match will see them close the gap on the top once more. MI Cape Town have been over-reliant on Ryan Rickleton and we saw that when he fails with the bat they are not quite the same team. Our prediction is for a close contest with Durban’s Super Giants ending their run of defeats by winning this fixture.
